I'm not sure if I talked about this show much last year, but it was one of my favorite shows of the year. That show is Timeless. It's easily one of the better network shows on TV. I beg you to watch it if you like time travel stuff.

The show actually got cancelled, but the outcry was so loud, they brought it back. I'm telling you, the show is a lot of fun.

This is a Canadian show no? I should check it out...

I'm not sure. I mean, there haven't been any episodes about hockey or maple syrup, but that doesn't mean anything. I suppose they might shoot the show in Canada.

The period settings are cool, and it is fun, but it's very much a procedural at its roots. It could do a lot more with its plot, but it seems content to hang out where it is.

That's true, but at least it's not a fire show, cop show, doctor show or a lawyer show. Sure, each week deals with a certain task, but that doesn't bother me. It works just like A-Team and MacGyver did back in the day.

I think there is just enough mythos weaved in to keep things interesting. Like you said, the period settings are cool and the characters are fun.

Amen to that.

I just wish there was a little more mythology sprinkled into each episode. There's still a lot about Rittenhouse (and the results of the team continuously altering time) we don't know. I haven't seen the season 2 premiere yet, but planning on it soon.

If you have the DirecTV Audience network (home of Mr. Mercedes), one of my favorite shows is coming back March 20. This is such a good show and if it was on Netflix or something, it would be huge. The acting is great and it's really touching and hilarious:

I still have to find Mr. Mercedes somewhere. It's a shame shows have to be held hostage by DirectTV. I'm not sure about that business plan, but I suppose Netflix is doing the same thing. Although, the difference is we can now watch Netflix on other platforms.

I'd love to see stats on some of their original shows to see if people are watching. I've never even heard of You Me Her and it's in its third season.

They do have some sort of a streaming package deal, like HBO Go, I believe. And You Me Her is pretty brilliant and I hope it goes on for a few more seasons. I caught an episode just randomly flipping channels and then binged the first season on-demand. The second season was even better. Canít wait till the 20th!

Almost finished season 1 of Witnesses (Les Temoins) on Netflix -- good, creepy French crime drama. The opening mis-en-scene takes place at a model home where three bodies are posed like a family, all recently dug up corpses.
